Use fear as your weapon against the company. If they started turning people away at the door, left and right, it might get somebodies attention.
I wish pilots had balls like that.... I recall when NetJets were making $50K/yr as Citation X captains some of them wanted to tell their multi-millionaire pax what they were making, flying them around (and the ridiculous turn over they had as a result), but they were to scared to lose their jobs.
